Mike Trout & Mark Trumbo

Michael Nelson Trout (born August 7, 1991 in Vineland, New Jersey) is an American professional baseball outfielder for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of Major League Baseball. Mark Daniel Trumbo (born January 16, 1986, in Anaheim, California) is a Major League Baseball infielder for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.5.0/5

Angels stepped up huge...signed stuff from Mike Trout, Mark Trumbo, and Peter Bourjos for the fundraiser and more coming from them.

So the Angels let go of Mark Trumbo. Hm, let's break this down. Angels decide to spend the moon on two HUGGGE Contracts, which have paid no dividends as of yet and likelihood will not. In return, the Angels, had to cross their fingers, close their eyes and pick up sub par pitchers which not only paid no dividend, they completely went BUST !! Now that we have (2) HUGGGE Contracts with a very grim outlook and NO Pitching, they (WE) lose our future Tim Salmon in the process. Not to mention, that our hitting machine by the name of Mike Trout, will be gone the first $350 Million contract he will be offered. (at least we have a few years before that happens). So I wonder, WHY are we fans? Gr !

This interesting fact was posted this afternoon by Scott Carpenter: "Saw this and wanted to pass it along. OF J.B. Shuck has 121 hits in 121 games this season, marking the first time in Angels history that a rookie has surpassed the 120-hit mark for a third consecutive season. Mark Trumbo had 137 hits in 2011 and Mike Trout had 129 hits last season. Congrats JB!!"

30 Jul 2013 09:03

this is where Torii Hunter could have been the catalyst for struggling Angels offense and make Mike Trout & Mark Trumbo even better

2 0. JB Shuck with a lead-off single. Mike Trout with a 2-run home run. Mark Trumbo gets a walk on a full count.

Off to the D this afternoon with Firbeball Paul to see Mike Trout, Albert Pujols, Josh Hamilton and Mark Trumbo! Hopefully the weather cooperates!

Bit of a MLB rant about to commence... Just a quick paragraph on how much of a joke both LA MLB teams really are. The Dodgers (28-37) have a $216 Million Dollar payroll and ESPN has sworn that they are not "done yet". OK ESPN, keep watching those Nielsen Ratings. Andre Either, Adrian Gonzalez (Only One Producing BTW), Matt Kemp, Carl Crawford and Hanley Ramirez. These are big salaries that should be carrying big numbers. The LA Angels (28-38) have a $142 Million Dollar payroll and ESPN claims that they are one of the most underrated teams in MLB. Underrated?? Really? Let me clear my throat; Mark Trumbo, Howie Kendrick, Erick Aybar, Josh Hamilton, Mike Trout and Albert Pujols. Underrated? Next time you hear ESPN talk about Underrated Baseball teams they better be talking about Oakland, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Arizona or Baltimore. I just felt like expressing my true disgust for these overrated organizations. That was fun...

Q: Which Angels players made the All Star team in 2012: A: Mike Trout, Mark Trumbo, C.J. Wilson and Jered Weaver

04 Jun 2013 17:58

Cubs-Angels Preview Chicago Cubs manager Dale Sveum believes the Los Angeles Angels are a dangerous club despite their sub-.500 record. It may be about time the Angels begin proving him right before it's too late. Jered Weaver faces the visiting Cubs on Tuesday night when he looks to help get Los Angeles back on track after suffering an embarrassing sweep. The Angels (25-33) are one of baseball's biggest disappointments due to lofty expectations that came with the aggressive signing of free agents to high-priced deals the past two offseasons. They may have hit their lowest point after being swept in a four-game series at home by last-place Houston, which has picked up seven of its AL-worst 21 victories over the Angels. Los Angeles scored eight runs the entire set after falling 2-1 on Monday, continuing to founder despite a lineup featuring sluggers Mike Trout, Albert Pujols, Mark Trumbo and Josh Hamilton. Sveum isn't counting the Angels out just yet, though. "We know they're capable of being a prolific of ...

Trout, Vargas lead Angels over Royals Kansas City, Mo. (AP) — Mike Trout had his 21st multi-hit game, Jason Vargas pitched into the eighth inning and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Kansas City Royals 5-2 on Friday night to extend their winning streak to six games. Trout had two hits, stole his 11th base and scored two runs, including one on a wild pitch. He is hitting .366 in May. Vargas (4-3) allowed two runs and five hits over 7 1-3 innings to win is fourth straight decision in five May starts. He is 12-4 in May since the start of the 2009 season. Trout led off the Angels’ three-run seventh with a walk and stole second. Mark Trumbo extended his hitting streak to nine games with a RBI-single. The inning also included Albert Pujols scoring on a Howie Kendrick sacrifice fly and Trumbo scoring on Alberto Callaspo’s double. The Angels had chances against Kansas City starter Luis Mendoza, but the team was 1 for 9, stranding eight runners against him. Trout scored the only run off Mendoza in the third i ...

KC's Santana fans 8, but gives up 4 HRs to Angels Kansas City, Mo. (AP) — Ervin Santana's mastery of the strike zone against his former teammates was incomplete. Sure, he struck out eight, but he also gave up four home runs and the Kansas City Royals lost to the Los Angeles Angels 5-4 Thursday night. "He throws a lot of strikes, and he's around the plate," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "He had his fastball up to 95 a couple of times tonight, and these guys have got a lot of power." Albert Pujols and Mike Trout hit solo shots, and Mark Trumbo a two-run homer. Chris Iannetta also added a solo shot off the right-hander. "I thought Trout's home run was extremely impressive," Yost said. "To take a pitch that far down and drive it over the center field fence as he did, and we know what Albert Pujols can do with a pitch. The two pitches we'd like to have back were the slider down the middle to Iannetta and of course, Trumbo on a 3-0 count." It was the second time in Santana's career he has surrendered four hom ...

Extension suggestion: Mark Trumbo: As the baseball world patiently waits for the Angels and Mike Trout to...

The Angels organization is smart keeping Mike Trout on the dirt cheap salary with a $10K bonus for ROTY. Thanks players association and union for screwing ALL the MLB rookies. Players voted for this ... A-holes! Thrilled Petey Bourjos is playing CF but moving Trout over to LF. Mark Trumbo is no longer in the outfield but moved to 1B or DH. WTH? Nice waste of money last year with Pujols, *** *** clown. Give me the stats on him, he is still an *** clown.

I can't believe Mike Trout,Josh Hamilton, Albert Pujols,and Mark Trumbo are all gonna be in the same lineup this year & its not the

Mike Trout and Mark Trumbo have been traded to the Yankees for A-Rod

31 Jan 2013 14:42

All in all, we had four review boxes in courtesy of Topps for Series I Baseball. We selected one for our written review, but we posted some of the highlights from our other boxes in our "Other Hits From 2013 Topps Series I Baseball" album. Feel free to give them a look. Not going to lie, we thought we had pulled a Mike Trout autograph at first, but then we saw it was Mark Trumbo.

Ok so people are saying that the braves now have the best outfield in baseball? R u stupid? Josh Hamilton, Mike Trout, and Mark Trumbo might be a little better than 2 brothers who just have potential. But then again idk anything

welcome to the Angels can't wait to see you playing for the Angels and with Mike Trout and Mark Trumbo...

14 Dec 2012 11:10

Josh Hamilton has agreed to the Rangers rivals, the Angels. It is a 5 year 125 million dollar deal. Like the Angles now, Albert Pujols, Mike Trout, Mark Trumbo, and Josh Hamilton, and CJ Wilson. LA is just dominating baseball!!

13 Dec 2012 18:53

Report: The Angels are in serious contract negotiations with the bigger bat on the free agent market, Josh Hamilton. If a deal is reached, the lineup would consist of Hamilton, Albert Pujols, Mike Trout, Kendrys Morales, AND Mark Trumbo, to say the least.

30 Nov 2012 18:04

Alternative theory: Tommy Hanson's right arm has been kidnapped and only Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and Mark Trumbo are man enough to save it

Dont be surprised when;Mark Trumbo and Peter Bourjos get traded and Mike Trout leaves in Free Agency to the Yankees.

Hey old Quakes Fans. Our boy did it. 30 HR, 80 RBI and 48 stolen Bases. WTG Mike Trout. a few years ago i fallowed him in the miners and knew he would make it big. come on Angels fans Bring in the support to bring him his first pennant.

The Sports Illustrated cover story this week is on Mike Trout. All sorts of superlatives, apparently well earned. But halfway through the piece, mention is made of "teammate Mike Trumbo." So much for credibility. Mark Trumbo isn't a utility player or rookie. He was in the All-Star Game this year, has 30 home runs and was second in rookie of the year voting last year. Mike Trumbo?

22 Aug 2012 04:11

Mike Trout is gonna go ham and so is pujols and Mark Trumbo and yes Torii Hunter

Watching the San Francisco Giants game, a fan has a sign that reads "Don't get cozy, here comes Posey!" ha ha! I like Buster a lot! he's got a long bright future of ahead of him, and is one of the younger players along with Mike Trout & Mark Trumbo that make this game such a joy to watch! I also look forward to seeing Buster Posey and the rest of the Giants play when I'm in San Francisco in April!

So we've been to *** s and Sport Chalet and I've only seen jerseys for Albert Pujols and C.J Wilson. Where are the Mike Trout and Mark Trumbo jerseys?

08 Aug 2012 02:44

Besides my beloved Reds, I think Mike Trout may be my favorite baseball player... even if I mix up him and Mark Trumbo all the *** time

Foo, that's Mark Trumbo who was in the Homerun Derby, not Mike Trout. Shouldn't you be talking about Steve Nash or something?

05 Aug 2012 18:23

I have no reason for it, but I'm really, really missing my Grandma today. I'm just thinking about how much she would love Mike Trout and Torii Hunter would still be her fav, and She would have a special kind of hatred for Mark Trumbo for going to Villa Park but still love him.

05 Aug 2012 14:37

I wonder how the Indians would be doing if we had prospects like Mike Trout and Mark Trumbo. Up 15 games??

Angels: Trout makes history Mike Trout was named AL Rookie of the Month for June, becoming the first player in Angels history to win the award two consecutive months. Brennan Boesch was the last player on any team to accomplish the feat when he did it in May and June of 2010. Trout batted .372 with three home runs and 16 RBIs, 14 stolen bases, 27 runs in June while posting a .419 on-base percentage and a .531 slugging percentage. Since May 1, nobody has a better Batting Average than Trout's .351 mark or scored more runs than Trout's 51. • Mark Trumbo's 14 home runs and 36 RBIs since May 27 are tied for the Major League lead. He is on pace to become the first player in Angels history to hit 40 home runs in a season since Troy Glaus hit 41 in 2001. Trout & Trumbo, like I've been saying...

14 Jun 2012 02:25

DENVER - Batting cleanup for the Angels, Mark Trumbo was in the perfect spot Sunday. With the three hitters in front of him capping a weekend rampage at Coors Field, Trumbo hit a pair of three-run homers to set a career high with six RBIs and the Angels beat the slumping Colorado Rockies 10-8 for its ninth straight victory on the road. Torii Hunter added a two-run homer and scored three times to help the Angels complete a three-game sweep. Mike Trout, Hunter and Albert Pujols, the top three batters in the Angels' lineup, combined to go 23 for 42 (.548) with 16 RBIs and 21 runs scored in the series. Hunter was 9 for 15 with three homers, nine RBIs and eight runs. Asked whether he's ever been sandwiched between hitters like Trout and Pujols, Hunter said: "I've never had that. In my career, I've always been the one hitting behind somebody. This is awesome." On a day when the ball was flying out of hitter-friendly Coors Field, the Angels scored nine times in the first four innings. Tyler Colvin hit a three-ru ...

06 May 2012 17:21

Last night I was at the Big A and I must say I've seen the future of the Angels and it's Mike Trout! Showed off his power with a home run over the center field fence, turning a single into a double with his blazing speed, showing his plate discipline by working a walk in a crucial part of the game and his defense with a sensational diving catch to kill a Blue Jay rally. Also saw Mark Trumbo hit a towering home run, just a great Angels win last night. Also saw Tim Salmon before the game, I think that was my wife's favorite part of the night! Have a great Sunday and go Angels!

Funniest thing I have heard in a long time last night said pick up Mark Trumbo when he really meant Mike Trout! LOLZ

Bye Bobby Abreu!.. In the immediate future, Bobby Abreu probably will be remembered most for the amount of money the Angels had to pay to part ways with him ($9 million). Soon he might be remembered most as the guy who was pushed aside to make way for the Angels’ star outfielder-in-waiting (that’d be Mike Trout,20, who was promoted from Triple-A and is expected to be in the lineup for LAA’s 10:05 a.m. PDT game against Cleveland on Saturday). But one day Abreu will be remembered fondly as a guy who was very productive for the Angels for three seasons full seasons, plus this throwaway one. During his Angels career he played in 456 games, hitting .267 with 43 homers, 103 doubles, 239 runs, 246 RBI and 75 stolen bases. His best season for them was his first, 2009, when he hit .293 and drove in 103 runs. He finished 12th in the AL MVP voting. Just as important, Abreu provided a veteran presence who was well-respected in the clubhouse. Mark Trumbo,who’s ability to play left field after making the switch ...

21 Apr 2012 17:58

I think it's time for the to part ways with both Vernon Wells and Abreu. Make room for very talented Mark Trumbo and Mike Trout
